Tell you need to take a break, without telling me you need to take a break :-)

It's a long and complicated process. First, I enter all of the relays onto a spreadsheet. Then, I go into my kitchen cabinet and find the box of angel hair spaghetti. I then choose a single strand of spaghetti for each relay that I have entered on my spreadsheet. Next, I break each piece of spaghetti into a specific length, making sure that no piece is within 1 inch of another one. The next part is crucial to this process. I ask my wife to boil a pot of water for me. While, that's boiling, I take careful measurements and assign each piece of spaghetti a relay ID on my spreadsheet. Once the water is boiling, I instruct my wife to cook the spaghetti and to let me know when it's done. When the spaghetti is cooked, I carefully remove each piece as to not break, rip, or stretch the individual strands. Next, I throw those fuckers at the wall. Whichever ones stick, I pull off of the wall and measure their length. I then compare the lengths to the spreadsheet and find the approximate corresponding value. The relays that have corresponding spaghetti that sticks are then saved onto my Nostr profile.

Nostr starter pack

If you’re new to Nostr (regardless of which client you use — Damus, Snort, Iris, etc.) it’s helpful to follow a few quality/active accounts to get a feel for how it all works and to find conversations you can participate in.

Since a lot of apps don’t have good discovery hubs I thought I would write a note for people who are new here to help you find some quality/active accounts to bootstrap your feed to begin your journey.

Tap any of these and tap “follow” on the profile pages to start building your list:

25 or 50 basis points from the Fed today?

I’m guessing 50

Oh, hello! PV! You will need a strong ☕️ today!

**Here's to my fellow Nostr builders:**

Building a community is not only a rewarding experience, but also an essential part of being human. We are wired to connect and belong. When we find a group of people with similar values and interests, we feel a sense of purpose and belonging.

There is a substantial amount of **Proof of Work** involved in community building. It won't happen overnight, but we will be successful and we will win. Every time we build a new application, a new client, fix a bug, or create an engaging post, it's a step in the right direction to build a strong community and attract new members.

As we build, we solve problems. Every problem we solve helps to provide a unique experience for users across the protocol. This allows us to create something truly special for everyone.

Every step you take, every member you attract, is a step in the right direction. Every person you help connect, and every problem you help solve, is a step closer to creating something truly special.

So, be patient, be persistent, and most importantly, be passionate. Believe in the *Value for Value and *Proof of Work*, and the community will come. And when it does, it will be worth every sat.
